The Jemima B Phillips, age 84, who appears on the 1860 census in Hanover County VA was the widow of Lancelot Phillips. Lancelot Phillips, born 2 April 1797, was the son of William Phillips and Ann Lewis Phillips. Jemima's maiden name was Cosby. Jemima was Lancelot's third wife and they were married on 19 February 1840. Lancelot already had ten children from his two previous wives, Martha Bumpass whom he married on 4 June 1818 and Ann Bumpass (the sister of Martha) whom he married on 8 November 1833. Jemima was about 60 years old when she married Lancelot and she was a wealthy spinster. The other Phillips who appeared in Jemima B. Phillips household on the 1860 census were some of her Phillips stepchildren. Living near Jemima was another stepchild, John W Phillips, age 24, who had recently gotten married to a woman named Martha, age 18. I have some more information on this Phillips family if you or anyone else is interested. Sincerely, Nancy Kiser
